How having ADD has affected my life:

1. Very low tolerance for frustration
2. I want what I want and I want it NOW!
3. Very difficult to stay on task when I find something boring despite knowing potential consequences.
4. I can not tolerate being in large stores or shopping centers for longer than an hour. It's just too much stimulation going on and when I reach my limits my thoughts echo the behavior of a two year old having a tantrum.
5. Can't figure out why I have such difficulty getting started on tasks that I do want to do.
